What True Merit will Do,

The unprecedent sale of BOschee,s
German Syrup within few years, has
astonished the world. 1t is without
doubt the safest and best remedy ever
discovered for the speedy and etfectual
cure of Coughs, Colds and the severest
Lnng Troubles. 1t acts on an entirely
different principle from the usual pre-
scriptions given by physicians, as it
does not dry up a cough and leave the
disease still in the system, but on the
contrary removes the cause of the
trouble, heals the parts affected and
leaves them in IA purely healthy condi-
ton. A bottle kept in the house for
use when these diseases make their ap-
pearance, will save doctors bills and IL
long spell of serious illness. A trial
will convince you of these facts. 1t is
positively sold by all druggists and
general dealers in the land. Price rs
cents, large bottles. I

Ladies should beware of steel bus
ties, even if they do wear them on
charitable missions. for providence will
not even on such occasions protect
them from the results of their own
vanity.
A prominent society young lady met
with a serions accident on the after
noon of the 22d, 10 Louisville, Ky. She
was bound on mission of charity, and,
IN alighting from the street car at
Thirteenth street her skirt caught in
the step and she fell. Her cries of
pain call ed several gentlemen to her
rescue. who assisted her to DR.. Woods
office. There it was found that a steel
wire attached to her hustle had been
broken off, and the sharp steel had en-
tered the right thigh to depth of
several inches. The wound proved to
be very painful one. She exactel a
solemn promise from the doctor not to
disclose her name

Mr.. Editor:-The good work done by
the U. S. Government, in clearing the
instructions from Bayou T&che bids
fair to be partial failure.
The reason is, that after cutting
down the trees and cutting them up,
they failed to remove them sufficiently
far to prevent the water from washing
them back. The water of the Teche is
now rising and the logs and branches
are finding their way back to the mid
die OF the Bayou. This will necessi-
tate their removal again at an addi-
tlonal expense, and in the meantime
navigation Of the Bayou is obstructed.
Will you be SO kind as to inform the
public where to attach tie blame?
As ever Yours,
